Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave Theodora

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have revealed new details for Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave character Theodora (VA: Minami Takayama), the young queen of the Kingdom of Saramis who acknowledges the suzerain state​ of her own kingdom. Theodora possesses an unwavering determination to face any obstacle, and she’s blessed with the qualities befitting of a ruler, according to a translations provided by Final Weapon translator Ryuji.

In Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Theodora wields the Spear of Mahamadu, which is said to have been used by a legendary hero—potentially another of the Heroes’ Relics. She can also use the Gambit command, which uses a legion of soldiers to perform area of effect attacks or healing.

Previously, Nintendo highlighted Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave character Dietrich, a strong and elegant swordsman hailing from Fódlan. Dietrich likes things he finds “beautiful,” sweets, and his younger sister. Dietrich wields the Answerer, one of the Heroes’ Relics. The weapon has a special technique called Murderous Intent, which increases the chance of landing a critical strike with three times more damage.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave launches September 17 for Nintendo Switch 2 for $70 digitally and $80 physically. A “Dagdan Edition” will be available with art cards, a map of Dagda, an artbook, and a steelbook case. 

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is available to wishlist now on the Nintendo eShop, which describes the game as follows:

Fight for victory and make your wish in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave on Nintendo Switch 2.

The Dagdan Empire has prospered under the rule of gods for 1,500 years. The capital, Dagsion, plays host to the Heroic Games – the winner of which is granted one wish. Powerful fighters from across the land have gathered to participate.

The story of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave revolves around four heroes:

Cai, a young boy determined to win the games to save his imprisoned father.

Dietrich, a swordsman ever on the hunt for a stronger foe.

Theodora, a queen seeking to fulfil a long-held dream of her homeland.

Leda, a musician with her sights set on revenge.

Guide whichever character you choose to victory in the Heroic Games, as they weave their own unique tale.

Between matches, you can strengthen your forces in different ways. Hone your techniques at the training grounds, recruit new allies or travel beyond Dagsion’s walls to gain experience in battles or dungeons.

Dispatch 'HR Violations' Free Update Released

AdHoc Studio has released a free update for Dispatch, titled “HR Violations,” which adds new censorship options for all platforms. The update is available on Switch and Switch 2 as a free DLC pack. 

For Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 players, who were initially unable to view the game’s more suggestive sequences, now there are the following options:

  • Partial Coverage (Default): Most examples of nudity and middle fingers are now visible. However, genitals and explicit audio are still censored. 
  • Full Coverage: All explicit visual and audio content is completely censored. The required option for players in Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. 

PlayStation 5 and PC players can still witness all nudity and profanity without any restrictions. Additionally, there are the following “Censorship styles”:

  • Mosaic (Default): Covers up with a pixelated blob.
  • Chaotic: A randomly chosen covering, such as jorts.
  • Blackout: A black bar to cover the censored image.

Check out an example showcasing these different styles below:

Dispatch HR Violations

These will also be available for Xbox Series X|S owners when the game releases later this summer. Dispatch is available now on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Final Weapon reviewed the game, giving it a 4.5/5.

We described it as a title which “takes the foundation built by Telltale Games and runs with it, creating one of the best games in the genre and one of the best titles released this year. The incredible cast of characters, brought to life by great writing, a beautiful art style, and a fantastic team of voice actors, is so charming and lovable. Even if the gameplay is kind of lacking, the dispatching mini-games and emphasis on player and dialogue choice are so much fun to engage with. In a time when the superhero genre is more oversaturated than ever, Dispatch manages to go above and beyond, delivering an unforgettable experience.”
